The DNA Evidence for Norse Origins of My Paternal Lines

Genetic testing has determined  the extremely high probability that I am descended from Norse populations, (although my current hypothesis is that that my descent was – at least in part – through French Norman Vikings who ruled Britain for several centuries after 1066).)

The following DYS (i.e., DNA Y-chromosome Segment) values characterize the Norse subclade of the Haplogroup I1:

[WHB note: after each DYS value I will list the values of that segment for cousins (identified by initial)  and note where there is a deviation between myself and my cousins and between us and those categorized as belonging to an identified sub-category (subclade) of haplogroup I1. See the bolded sentences for such deviations.]

[Note: the subclades used for this post are (1) Anglo-Saxon, (2) Norse, (3) Norse-Bothnian/Norse-Finn and (4) Ultra Norse. These categories were extracted from article on Haplogroup I1 at http://en.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/4548205 that is based on Professor Kenneth Nordtvedt’s classification scheme.]
